And DR.. Barker, the Oculist and Aurist,
Leaves for His Home Office
in Cincinnati.

in Cincinnati.
The visit of this celebrated specialist is
last drawing to q close. 1t has been
marked by an unparalleled practice in
affections of the eye, ear, nose and throat,
adjusting speetscles and inserting arti-
fetal eyes. Not only have the afflicted Of
the city taken advantage of this unrivaled
skill, but his success has attracted q large
number from throughout the Stale,
almost every county being numbered
among his patients. While his reputation
has been made by the almost miraculous
cures Of the blind and deaf he is equally
as successful in the treatment of the aztec
tions of the
NOSE AND THROAT.
He says the exposed position of these
orgsns make them subject to a variety of
diseases which, if neglected or treated in
cCmpetently, are certain seedlings to lung
affections, which will ultimately kill, or
at least shorten the golden hours of life,
hence too much importance cannot be at
tsched to an early attention of any of their
affections, no matter how trivial it may at
first appear. Among the serious
THROAT AFFECTIONS.
May be mentioned, fungus sore throat,
syphilitlc sore throat, Laryngitis,
Phorsyngitis. Tonsilites, Bronchitis,
Ulcerous, Paralysis of the vocal organs,
elODgati0n of the uVuls, cleft palate,
bypOtr ophy and atrophy Of the tonslls
admit of anything less than exact constitu-
iional and local treatment. In the
NOSE.
may be found ploypi Ia footl tumor
which occurs in the mucus membrane. 1t
varies much in size, number and mode of
adhesion, Fibrous polypi are of compact
texture, and do not degenerate into
cancers. The scirrhous are true cancer
Gus tumors, painful and bleeding. They
occur at all ages but are more frequent
in young adults. The growth msnlfests
great tendencyIto nd.prolon cations into
only dangerous, but produces a great de-
formity.
OZENA.
Is an ulcer on the nostrils that gives of 8
fetid smell. The putrid matter is CON-
poted of a myriad parasites (worms). If
neglected, or maltrested, the entire nasal
passage becomes eaten away and the system
becomes impregnated with their poison.
CATARRHH.
Which is so common in this changeable
climate, receives more attention than any
other affection to which flesh is heir. The
great stumbling block in the way of a
cure is false diagnosis. BY some not III
formed, as those who have an ''infallable
cure" every affection of the nose and
head are called catarrh. This is quite
erroneous While it is q disease of the
mucous membrane, this membrane anat-
omically considered is the same SIS the
cuticie or skin. and subject to a variety Of
diseases which are quite as troublesome as
catarrh. Being hid in the deep, remote
Tecesses, none but the skilled specialist,
who is supplied with all modern appliances,
can oisgnose them with the precision
necessary to prescribe line of treatment
for each special case. Right here l wish
to say have 10 one box or bottle from
which / cure catarrh. My treatment is
rational and exact, constitutional as well
as local, and adapted to the conditions and
complications present, the success of
which Is told by my patients, and their
name is legion in this vicinity.
